    TLDR The book is a valuable guide for hair restoration surgeons.
    The document is a review of the textbook "Hair Transplantation: The Art of Follicular Unit Micrografting and Minigrafting, Second Edition" by Alfonso Barrera and Carlos Oscar Uebel, which provides a comprehensive overview of modern hair restoration techniques. The book covers the fundamentals of hair restoration, including anatomy, physiology, patient evaluation, and selection, as well as preoperative planning and patient management. It details surgical techniques for genetic male pattern baldness, the technicalities of the procedure, and the importance of a skilled surgical team. The textbook also addresses hair transplantation in women, the growing popularity of follicular unit extraction over the strip method, and the combined use of both techniques in a single patient. Additionally, it discusses reconstructive techniques for patients with traumatic injuries or major tissue resections and explores new research areas in hair restoration. The review concludes that the textbook is an invaluable resource for both new and experienced surgeons in the field of hair restoration.

      community Verteporfin and Microneedling

      in Treatments 6 months ago
      Clinical studies by Dr. Barghouthi and Dr. Bloxham indicate that Verteporfin, when used with FUE and FUT hair transplantation methods, shows promise in hair follicle regeneration and minimal scarring due to its ability to inhibit Yes-associated protein (YAP). Microneedling at depths of 3-3.5mm, combined with Verteporfin, could potentially reactivate dormant follicles, although the optimal dosage and application method are still under investigation. Concerns remain about the DHT sensitivity of regenerated follicles, highlighting the need for further research to optimize trauma levels and Verteporfin concentrations to achieve effective and scar-free hair regeneration.

      Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
